I don't know if you get the Weelicious email, but today's recipe is a Caprese Quesadilla...made me think of you!

  • Mmm!  Sounds like something right up my alley!  I used to get them, but one day I went through and opted out of a ton of emails I was getting.  I was so tired of getting so much stuff in my Inbox that I never had time to read!  I guess Weelicious was one of them. 

    So, is it basically just tomato, mozz & basil in a tortilla and then cooked like a quesadilla?  Sounds yummy.

  • Yeah, sounds like it!

    Caprese Quesadilla (Serves 4)

    4 Tortillas (I like to use whole wheat or spelt tortillas)
    1 Large Tomato, thinly sliced
    1 Cup Mozzarella Cheese, grated
    4-6 Fresh Basil Leaves, julienned

    1. Place one tortilla in a dry pan over medium heat ( I use a cast iron skillet).
    2. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of cheese over tortilla and place half (about 4 or 5) tomato slices over cheese.
    3. Sprinkle another 1/4 cup of cheese over tomato slices followed by half of the julienned basil leaves.
    4. Top with another tortilla and heat through, about 3 minutes on each side or until cheese is melted and tortilla is slightly toasted.
    5. Repeat for the second quesadilla.
    6. Cut into wedges and serve.

  • I'll have to try that!  Great way to use up those ingredients that are leftover from Caprese salad!
